Sure they do.
Just don't buy cheap junk.

In 1980, a 16" chainsaw at Sears cost $227.
That's $717 in today's dollars.

Today, at Home Depot, you can get a 16" chainsaw for $139
That's less than the 1980 price, in absolute dollars!

Don't want junk? Then pay $717 for a chainsaw,
because that's what they used to cost back in the good ol' days.
